Abstract
Relata-se a ocorrência de casos de brucelose em animais de um canil da cidade de Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul. Devido a registros de aborto nesta criação, suspeitou-se desta enfermidade. O isolamento da Brucella canis foi realizado através da cultura de materiais obtidos dos fetos abortados, placenta e neonatos. O teste sorológico de imunodifusão em gel de ágar demonstrou que 72,7% (8/11) dos animais deste canil haviam se infectado com esta bactéria. Neste relato são descritos e discutidos os dados clínicos e sorológicos, assim como o isolamento da Brucella canis.<br>The ocurrence of canine brucellosis is described in a kennel from Uruguaiana city.
